The steep nose makes me think , but IDK. The colors don't look right for that species

Good luck,

The colours are with range if we accept that it's a young fish and moreover, it's stressed/reacting to being over blue gravel. Good ID for me!

Hypancistrus furunculus for sure, the size of the eyes in relation to the head length gives it away.
